Summary - Lot 6: Land At Cruxton Manor Farm, Cruxton, Dorchester, Dorset, DT2 DT2 0EB
1 bed 1 bath Land
Quiet pasture in Dorset National Landscape ideal for conservation or grazing.
Freehold 11.19-acre traditional water meadow adjoining River Frome
Lot 6 is an 11.19-acre traditional water meadow of permanent pasture adjoining the River Frome, offered as a freehold parcel within the attractive West Dorset countryside. The land is level to gently sloping, supports a good crop of grass and provides rich wildlife value — wintering wildfowl are regularly present. Its location within the Dorset National Landscape gives scenic and amenity appeal for conservation, grazing or low-intensity agricultural use.
Practical advantages include vacant possession on completion, established access within the farm holding, and inclusion of sporting rights (excluding fishing on the River Frome). The land is registered on the Rural Land Register and currently entered into a Countryside Stewardship Agreement, which may suit buyers seeking environmental stewardship or interim income support. The soil classification is Grade 3 and 4 agricultural land, suitable for pasture and grass production rather than high‑value arable use.
Buyers should note several material limitations. Delinked Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) payments will be retained by the vendors. Part of the farm lies in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, and the lot’s stewardship obligations and designation within the Dorset National Landscape will influence future management and planning prospects. Broadband speeds are very slow locally and mobile signal is average; this is a rural, relatively remote parcel with low local services beyond Maiden Newton, under a mile away.
This lot will particularly suit buyers seeking a conservation-minded meadow, a grazing paddock to add to nearby holdings, or an investor wanting countryside amenity land with sporting and ecological interest. Prospective purchasers should obtain specific details on rights of way, services, and the stewardship agreement prior to offer, and factor in the retained BPS payments and any statutory environmental restrictions.
